Salt Lake City Reviews
Rating 4.15 out of 5 703 reviews
I've lived here for a very long time and have seen quite a bit of changes from where Gateway used to be poppin' and now it being City Creek is "The Place". I'm an "oldies" kind of gal. I like how it was in the beginning, but I understand why things had to change. Salt Lake City is a pretty cool place in it's own way, but even with all the hot spots I feel like it's still missing a few. Like hello? We need better clubs here, more dancing than just grinding. Also, things are not as lit as they seem to be. Most of our restaurants or stores close so early! Maybe there's some great places I still need to check out before I write a review but so far I haven't been impressed. This place has so many people, so many expensive housing, and homeless near by. Not to say it's their fault for being homeless, but can you not jay walk while I'm trying to go at a green light? Can I not be cat called as I walk outside with my 2 week old pjs on? Like bro, upgrade your standards.. Salt Lake City is fun.
Living in Salt Lake City, Utah, has been a remarkable and transformative experience that I am truly grateful for. This vibrant city, set against the majestic Wasatch Mountains, has not only become my home but a source of personal growth, community connection, and boundless inspiration. From the moment I arrived in Salt Lake City, I was captivated by its unique charm and the stunning beauty of its natural surroundings.
Utah's breathtaking natural beauty has been an integral part of my experience. The accessibility to stunning national parks, serene lakes, and exhilarating hiking trails has awakened a deep appreciation for the outdoors within me. Standing atop a mountain peak or taking in the vastness of the desert.
A quality I would like to see change is the exclusivity the LDS church implies on none LDS members. I understand the importance of belonging, but the LDS church only represents this quality among inter-church members, leading to social "cliches."

Contrary to what one commonly hears, immigration into Salt Lake has NOT been good for it. Sadly, I've seen the town decline since people began moving here. Beautiful historical buildings have been torn down and replaced with ugly modern condo units. It's distinct character is dying. It starting to resemble Denver, or any other major metropolis, more and more. It's losing it's innocence and becoming a cosmopolitan cesspool ruled by Progressive politics. Locals are no longer able to afford buying a home. What happened to Portland, and Boise is happening to Salt Lake.
